Why did you join JUB?

[alphaxxx]

Not a trick question. What was it that made you join in the first place?

I joined about a year ago to look at tall the sexy naked male celeb fakes

how about you?

[Nishin]

It's funny I was asked this very question just today... but I don't have an answer
I was a regular on another board, I guess someone mentioned this place and I came to check it out

[mbamike]

I needed more information on being gay and to make connections with gays. I was just beginning to face the fact that I was possibly gay and needed some one to discuss that with. This site was a god send.

[xbuzzerx]

Won't lie, came here only for the porn at first.

[G-Lexington]

I've been on a couple messageboards, but no gay-related ones. I decided I wanted to try one where I could talk "gay stuff". I found this one.

[cgymike]

I think I just stumbled on it in a search but back then it was a new site and had some technical issues so I popped in an out before settling in.

[HoodedRat]

I first joined in 2004.

I had already been reading the forum for months, but felt no need to participate (it may have still been called LMAO then, I'm not sure).

Then one day, if I recall correctly, someone or other posted some utter nonsense and I felt the urge to respond. That entailed joining in order to post, and I've pretty much been here on and off ever since. I'm sure it was called JUB by the time I joined. At least that's my recollection but it was a long time ago.

I didn't even know there was porn here outside of the forums; I found it by searching for 'gay forums'.

[JayHawk]

I was searching for smooth twinks and came across the boards... point click... point click.... fap fap fap.... point click.... point click... "what the fuck was that comment" ...."who the fuck is this General Alfie guy? How full of shit can one human being be?" ...."Alright that is just an outright lie... must say something"

Joined... made my first post in CEP and never looked back....

I liked him... he was fun, is he still around?

[bankside]

BF told me about linkmeallover.ca in 2002 or 2003? I'm sure I remember seeing a memberlist with 20 or 30 members or something. Joined in 2004 so I could view attachments in the forum. Then got distracted by the conversation. Then deleted. Then returned.

[justaguy]

Someone referred me to it. I wanted to connect with other gay guys and it was here that I first confessed!!!

[sixthson]

I was at Rainbow Road in Mpls, buying lube when I noticed these free magazines they had as you exited. I think the magazine was Lavender or some such thing. There was an ad in it for JUB talking about the gay community and the forums here. I decided to check it out. That was 8 years ago. JUB is the first and only such site I visit. The place seemed much more thought provoking and will less drama then today. People actually discussed things without throwing fits and they disagreed with each other without hating each other for it, it seemed.

[JayHawk]

Yeah i had my rows with him but liked him as well... we connected even if we didnt agree.... and he become fed up with being unable to freely express his hate of conservatives... or at least it seemed he became disgusted with the site rules and simply left.... hell he may have come back as some less controversial lurker... it has to be an emotional drain to be a controversial person on here... everytime you are here being challenged... i would want it....

[RaKroma]

My court ordered psychiatrist recommended me this site years ago. He said that I would fit in with like minded people here and that I treat it as an anonymous support group. But that kinda backfired when I started developing more fucked up views on life than I did before joining.

[eastofeden]

I belonged to another gay board and this crazy right wing guy joined there one day complaining about a site that banned him and all the horrible people on that site..his name was Holland or France or something like that. So...I fought with him as he repeated right wing nutcase rhetoric daily and did the passive aggressive bit when I challenged him on it and then I had a eureka moment and I was kinda nice to him for a minute so he would tell me what lovely board banned him...so I could join.

That name definitely rings a bell too... I thought Hark was a reincarnation of him...

[roadtripboy]

I noticed another website I was visiting seemed to hosted by JUSB. I wondered what it was and liked what I found.

[FPNY]

i found it by accident after i retired from my job, JUB, which others have mentioned, was Linkmeallover.something. I liked the Hot Topics section and the porn, it helped me pass the time I needed to figure out what to do with the rest of my life and I've been here ever since....

[eastofeden]

YIKES! I hope I dont' see him again...anywhere.

[quasar]

Like others, I joined so that I could see the attachments, and then answered one of the ID questions in the Gay Porn forum and kind of stayed!

[Misaki]

Was doing a internet search of gay related galleries and this was one of the top displays. Although I didn't officially join until what is it a day in a half ago, I've always checked the site out for the galleries and such I just didn't feel the need to actually register. I must say though its really nice being here with other members/supporters of the LGBT community, which is probably why I think I'll be around for a while.

[refujiunderground]

stumbled across this site by accident and to top it off, this was around the time i wanted to interact with more gay guys so i registered. surprisingly, this turned out better than i expected it to be. thought i was only going to post here once or twice then disappear.

[justaguy]

Lol. Whether it was intended or not, that was funny.

[ChickenGuy]

The first day I found this site I spent reading a LONG thread in the Coming Out/Relationships forum by a JUBber named LostVegas who was in love with his best friend who then left town. Anyway on that same day I joined up with the ONLY intention (at the time) of posting a message of support to him. That was going to be it. But then I started reading. Then I made a thread (my first) in Coming Out/Relationships forum myself. And the rest, as they say, is history.

[bike10]

When I got computer searching for information on gay sites and came on JUB. Have been fan for few years and enjoy the wide variety of interest for gay men and the LGBT community. Have met number of guys who share my similar interest. Enjoy all that JUB has to offer and glad to have found the site.

[Adrock-JD]

I've been a member, under different names (3), since 2006? so I can honestly say I don't remember.

Originally, I came to Linkmeallover.ca for the porn pics. That wasn't a member site. At some point they changed the name to JustUsBoys and then added a message board. Somewhere in there I joined. I don't know why. Probably to look at porn in threads.

There have been some awesome members on here back in the day. Still some around and some great newbies but those early days were so adventurous and exciting.

[Nishin]

Google searching a porn star I was obsessed with in 2008 kept bringing me to threads on this site. I did a lot of late night reading of posts and threads and joined after much research to be sure I was not overstepping any boundaries by being a female on a gay porn message board. My research was flawed, but I've spent so much time here I don't know how to not keep coming back.

And straight too... do have gay friends IRL?
A female colleague of mine, who I believe don't know any other gay guys than me and a couple other colleagues is very intrigued by gay people, a few days ago she found out about all the labels/categories we have (bears, musclebears, jocks, twinks, chasers etc) and stuff like the hanky codes ... everytime we discuss these subjects, or when we took her to a gay bar where there's a shower show, her eyes sparkle and she giggles like a little girl, that's so cute..
I think she is a little prudish and wonder if this interest and discussions we have is some sort of proxy way to liberate herself in the sex department...

Gosh I hope she doesn't read this, I actually mentioned JUB to her and the other colleagues at lunch today... time to remove all my nasty pics I guess

[BFizzle]

For attention.

[rareboy]

For the Hot Topics.

I enjoyed the breadth and depth as well as the silliness of the topics and the posts.

I've really enjoyed many of the discussions, have learned all kinds of things and on many days, have been made to smile for the first time by someone posting here.

Oh and the porn.

[seven2go]

Since linkmeallover here too......FUN.......strictly fun.......

[DigitalFudge]

My voice needed to be heard

Why'd you kill Shane. Why.

[Saybrooke]

I stumbled upon it when I was looking for porn

But a different forum I was on that talked only about Mortal Kombat had shut down, So I needed a new place to get my opinions out lmbo!

[martin6]

The variety of people posting here used to interest me. That's why I joined.

Now, I probably only have about 100 posts this entire year, versus 8,000 the first four years I've been here.

[ibill1]

By chance, actually. My husband had passed away and before that time I had not been to any gay sites. I was a f**king mess and searched for gay grieving sites and JUB showed up. I didn't even know it was a porn site because the search took me directly to the forums section. I started reading and joined that same day. My first gay site.

[Nishin]

I have many gay friends IRL, male and female.

To expound further on how I came to be here. Talking about sex and constant sexual innuendo used to piss me off to no end. I am not sure exactly what changed but in the couple months leading up to signing up to JUB I had been exploring the wonder of porn on the internet. It started with hetero porn and I had truly believed I would never want to watch two men enjoy each other sexually. Wrong. Big time wrong. Once I found the beauty of gay porn I was done for. My friends who were aware of how "freaked out" I was about sex in general reacted in different phases of acceptance when I "came out" about my time here and finding that gay porn interests me. Most accepted it fully pretty quickly. Those that could not are no longer in my life (but not because I like gay porn).

That is quite interesting... really interesting actually... maybe I could show my colleague some gay porn and see if it works for her...lol
Did it influence the way you make love to your partner?
I admit I'm really turned on by str8 sex (although 100%gay) and it influences how I fuck (a bad way I think)

[MidnightPrism]

I just Googled GAY FORUM and this is what popped up. I had no gay friends at the time and was just looking to talk with anyone.

[DigitalFudge]

Why'd you kill Shane. Why.

[diamondstar]

Because I was bored. @DigitalFudge : I envy your amazing gifs.

[gsdx]

I was a regular visitor to LinkMeAllOver.ca (LMAO) which was a website with links to free gay porn websites and reported broken links to Peter (I think that was his name) all the time. I was saddened when it was sold and waited a few months before signing up as a member in 2003.

Still miss LMAO, though.

[herry1]

I joined originally because it looked a good forum. And to make people laugh.

[Audio Tech]

I posted this before in a similar thread, but I was close to killing myself. I looked for Gay forums.... not really sure why, I was going to down a bunch of pills the next day anyhow.... But JUB popped up and I started to read and understand that I'm not so alone and weird or sick at all. This forum and the support of a few people here are the reason I'm still alive today.

I think it was a last desperate attempt to reach out to SOMEONE that was like me, that could understand how isolated I felt, being "different".

I'm glad I found this place, came out at 45 shortly thereafter, had my first experience thanks to someone I met here as well.

Sometimes I have low points, I don't find being Gay at 48 as exciting as I'd like it to be, but this place and the stories of others keep me sane.

[Telstra]

.
I joined jub because i want to respond to opinions,
seek advice, like to chat with like minded people ... etc and post rubbish stuff just for fun.

[FPNY]

and I thought I could pretty the place up a little. It was sooooooo drab before I got here.....

[palbert]

So I could self-delete and return under a new name when things got antsy.

Also, tired of straight boredom.

[MoufOfKhaos]

I followed this cute guy's signature link on a gay site I was on and wound up in a far more interesting place.

[Alistair]

I joined after finding a picture of Tom Welling and a discussion about him. I stayed and got addicted to JUB after finding this cutie named Midnightprism I liked flirting with

[Sausy]

For a little bit of everything, but foremost for the political stuff. Connected with lots of great people, and have even met some from meets over the past few years... politics certainly doesn't keep me here now. Miss some people too I lost touch with, mostly because of my own stupidity.

[72-Jay]

I've been on various other gay forums for a number of years...on one of those someone mentioned the JUB Forum last year and I decided to come check it out...

[glasvegas]

It was some celebrity shirtless pic brought me here. Then, I decided to post in Fun & Games and met really good people, they make me stay.
